360 magnum. 1 piston lower in cylinder??

I can give you some awesome roads to drive when you get down this way again. Look at US250 west of Staunton VA over to the Elkins WV area. Make sure your brakes are 100%!).

I know 250 very well. I ride a motorcycle and just about any road West of I81 into WVA is a blast.
The engine and combo is really good for throttle steering out of any corner radius.

When I say spirited driving, I am not talking about road race extreme. I like fun roads and my current combo is pretty satisfying. Not a racer. Besides, I wouldn't want to break anything especially far from home.

And let me spend more of your money LOL. For that kind of driving, a 4 speed would be even better. Getting the engine braking diving into the corner helps set the weight up for better initial steering, better weight transfer on acceleration, and the instant torque to the wheels helps too.

Would love to but can't cover up $3500 for this conversion. Too close to retirement and the wife thinks the car is AOK as is.

But if you stick with an auto, I'd get the engine CR up and SCR up (via a steep ramp cam to get the least amount of advertised duration).

Please suggest.

I have converted to slap-stik and use it often but never heard of Dodge Challenger slap-stik mode. Was this exclusive to T/A AAR cars?

Was going to reuse rings due to low mileage on engine but I guess the bad rod throws that out the window.
